How do you get the right balance, in regards to making sure each child has the equal amount of attention, focus?

im a mum to 6 , and when each child wants me ,im there ! if im sorting washing i stop , if one is speaking the other waits, unless that childs spoke to me all day then i'll say ,let so so speak to mummy now please .
i hug , kiss and tell all my children every morning and night one by one .
if you tell them that at least once a day , it dosnt matter what you do they know there loved .
